Gruene Outfitters is having a fly fishing tournament called Agua Fresca; 75 spots for adult anglers and 25 spots for 16 and under.  The entry fee is a modest $20 and is a multi-species score card tournament.  May 1^st – check-in, rules meeting and happy hour at 5:00 pm.  May 2^nd – fish from sunup until meeting promptly back at 5:00 pm for check-in and score tally.  Meetings are at Gruene Outfitters but anglers are allowed to fish any public waters. Call the fly shop at 830.625.4440 for more information and sign-up.  Should be a lot of fun.

Troutfest Auction 1/2 day float

Troutfest Auction 1/2 day Float #2

A guided 1/2 day float trip in Central Texas with Action Anglers. Action Angler guides the Guadalupe River between Canyon Dam and the town of New Braunfels. We have been guiding central Texas rivers for over 10 years. The watercraft we use are whitewater rafts custom-designed for 2 anglers, complete with casting platforms and lean bars. These rafts are very stable and comfortable and are great for getting through shallow water.

The Guadalupe River has an abundance of fish species including Rainbow Trout, the state native Guadalupe Bass, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, several species of Sunfish, and Rio Grande Perch, all of which will take a fly. The best rod to use on this river is an 8 to 9-foot, 3-weight to 6-weight fly rod. Roll casting a nymph rig is the most commonly used technique for trout. Poppers and streamers are used for bass and perch.

I got some more pictures from the esCARPment tournament we had this summer. I have also put a link to the photographer on the web site, and it is Headwater Photography.

Everyone got a custom T-Shirt for the event, swag bags of leaders, tippet etc. Big prizes were, a custom fly rod from Ethos, custom made net, Costa Sunglass’s, hats, Fishpond bags, fly box’s, some bottles from Ghost Hill TX, (they were full when awarded), fly lines, gift certificates from Gruene Outfitters, and Action Angler, just to name a few of the items won and given out in drawings. So, everyone got something well worth the entry fee which was only $30. So, even if you did not catch fish, there were still random drawings done for some very nice prize’s.

When I hear of the date for next years event, I will post it here.
